Lily Du Berlais carries a penalty for her nose victory over Battling Bessie at Leopardstown when several winners were behind. WiILLIAMSTOWNDANCER made a winning debut at Punchestown but ran out when sent to Cheltenham a couple of weeks ago. Mollys Mango was beaten almost six lengths in the former event and showed the value of the form by winning easily at Cork with Stormalong five lengths behind. Miss Agusta has joined Gordon Elliott after a very promising debut behind the smart Absolute Notions at Punchestown in April.
